Hey there, Oxdarock here!
Due to the lack of activity with the Squish Tips over the past 9 months, I believe a change in operations is necessary to make it simpler and more engaging. Simply put, I’ll be moving away from a gambling format to one that’s time-limited.
Here’s how it’ll work: instead of randomly rolling on several ideas whenever a milestone amount is reached, people can donate towards pre-selected ones and whichever has the highest point value will be drawn. Two tip jars will also have a pre-selected character that will be the subject of the transformations. Ideas will now be submitted via the $20 tier of my Patreon, however, previously submitted ideas via donations will be carried over and given slot priority.
What’s very important to remember is that every slot has to reach a minimum amount of points every four weeks. Those that fail to do so will be swapped with a different idea, while retaining the amount raised. Furthermore, if the tip jars with a pre-selected character don’t earn at least $100 every four weeks, they will also be swapped.
For example, let’s say the Biggie 7 TJ features breast growth, butt growth, weight gain, and cowgirl TF as it’s four options. The first two earn 25 points while the other two earn 15 points within a four-week period. If the minimum amount needed is 25 points, then weight gain and cowgirl TF would be swapped to something else (let’s say multi-breast and FMG) while retaining their 15 points respectively (The same logic is applied to pre-selected characters).
When a milestone is reached, the time limit between swaps will reset once the picture has been completed. Any slots that don’t win previously will retain up to 100 points, with the minimum amount needed within the time limit being the next multiple of 25 (for example, if one slot starts off with 80 points, the minimum needed will be 100).
With all of this in mind, the goal is that, going forward, this format will incentivize people to donate smaller amounts over time while not giving big spenders a significant advantage (aside from having a bigger name on the final picture). The most important thing is that, if you donate once, be prepared to stick with it until the idea(s) you support eventually win, lest your donation be applied to a different idea.
That’s all for the format changes for the Squish Tips. Whether this changes anything is up for debate, but hopefully, they won’t feel forgotten anymore. On another note, I’ve decided to add another Tip Jar! This time, it’s for the Lusty Lamp Snapbacks, which should be familiar to anyone who’ve purchased the Snapzines from my store!

That’s all for now!
